Now the question I'm wondering is where I can buy one of these bills? I can say I am a trillionaire in Zimbabwe.

All jokes aside this is pretty sad though.

Probably in a few days, it will be used as toilet paper...
On the hand, I feel bad for those people who constantly don't have enough cash to buy the basic needs

Been to Harare a few times, and each year it gets worse. Mugabe has got to go.

Be careful not to exchange too much. Almost no one will take it back and it's illegal to remove from the country. Have fun at Victoria Falls. It's beautiful! If you like rafting, do it! Some of the best class 5 I've done.

Thanks ... I just want to take home a few Billion for gifts for friends ... could be funny!

So if 100 Trillion = around 250 euro, I can afford to home a few billion dollar notes

It's a real shame what Mugabe has made out of the country.

I have seen every part of it before Mugabe took over.
It's a wonderful country with wonderful people.

They deserve better than Mugabe.
